Forget the audience, make what you want to see

My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, "You didn't get pressured into having to be a director?" But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.

There's something about being a teenager that's so sincere. Everything is more epic, like your first crush. I feel that it's not always portrayed very accurately.

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.

More actors in action movies should be gangly because that way it's believable when they move through tight spaces.

I like amateur things.

I try to just make what I want to make or what I would want to see. I try not to think about the audience too much.
